Travelling waves

What are waves?

What are the two types of waves?

What is the main difference between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves?

Does the medium as a whole moves?

No → The energy moves to different locations but the medium stays put

How does a particle in the medium moves relative to the transverse wave?

What is the difference between snapshot and history graph?

Snapshot → a wave at different positions at a specific instance

History graph → the wave at different times at a specific position

How to create snapshot graph from history graph and vise versa?

When is the shape of the transverse wave mirrored in the history graph compared to the snapshot

When moving left to right

[right to left → same]

How do you find wavelength?

How to determine the shape of the longitudinal wave?

relationship between spacial frequency and time frequency

What is a rouge wave?

What is the doppler effect formula?

f → frequency at the detector

f0 → frequency source

v → speed of the wave
